Aloha again Kenny,
Our hair grows in many different directions so to insure getrting the smoothest shave possible, depending on the density of your previous hair, you must not only shave with the grain but against it and across it if needed. You'll get used to each area of the head and how to treat it. Many times when I go back for second or third pass I will put hoy water on the brush and relather. Good luck-it will soon come naturally.
